Overview of this book

Data science is an ever-evolving field, which is growing in popularity at an exponential rate. Data science includes techniques and theories extracted from the fields of statistics; computer science, and, most importantly, machine learning, databases, data visualization, and so on. This book takes you through an entire journey of statistics, from knowing very little to becoming comfortable in using various statistical methods for data science tasks. It starts off with simple statistics and then move on to statistical methods that are used in data science algorithms. The R programs for statistical computation are clearly explained along with logic. You will come across various mathematical concepts, such as variance, standard deviation, probability, matrix calculations, and more. You will learn only what is required to implement statistics in data science tasks such as data cleaning, mining, and analysis. You will learn the statistical techniques required to perform tasks such as linear regression, regularization, model assessment, boosting, SVMs, and working with neural networks. By the end of the book, you will be comfortable with performing various statistical computations for data science programmatically.

Definition and purpose of an SVM

I support Vector Machines, do you?

In the field of machine learning, SVMs are similarly recognized as support vector networks and are defined as supervised learning models with accompanying learning algorithms that analyze data used for classification.

An important note about SVMs is that they are all about the ability to successfully perform pattern recognition. In other words, SVMs promote the ability to extend patterns found in data that are:

Not linearly separable by transformations of original data to map into new space.

Again, everything you will find and come to know about SVMs will align with the idea that an SVM is a supervised machine learning algorithm which is most often used for classification or regression problems in statistics.
